History ShoutOut / TimeSplitters

* The Oblask Dam in the Siberia level is a shout out to the Bylemore Dam level of ''[[VideoGame/GoldenEye1997 GoldenEye]]''. It uses a very similar dam, camera movement in the intro and a lot of the same noises. Hardly surprising given that some of that game's devs became Free Radical Design members.

* The Neo Tokyo level takes its name from ''Manga/{{Akira}}'', but is intended as a homage to ''Film/BladeRunner''. It has the floating cars, the asian influenced culture, and the the incessant 'Cross Now' from the street signs.
